Hi folks,

Is there a user/dev manual which describe all the config files (in /etc/…) and what are the wanted values ?

We also need a description of the “Formula default” field in the parameter list of the BIRT reports (are these formulas javasript, java classes, custom…).  
We want to have a “dynamic” date parameter which change everyday for scheduled report.  
Can we use BIRT runtime formulas like “BirtDateTime.addDay(new Date(),-1)” in the forumula field ?

Thanks for you help.

Hi will reply to myself ;^)

I ve found on the german forum some information about the “Formula” in parameters field. It seems it’s based on “JUEL” (Java Unified Expression Language).

So to obtain the last day use “${today.addDays(-1)}”.

There is a mention in the German forum to a “Benutzerhandbuch” which is the user manual, where can I find this manual ?

Hi Isimedia

I’m glad that you found a solution. The manual is [here](http://reportserver.datenwerke.net/aoshow/cid=8c83dc50a98096e2747829025a3fe6c9) currently available in German and soon also in English.  
If you have specific questions ask here in the forum, we will help you.

Check out our [blog](http://blog.datenwerke.net/), where can find examples and tutorials.

kind regards  
Marcel
